The empress disliked my achievements for overshadowing her own, so she turned her attention to the N

Just as Jiang Zhe was leading his army towards Lecheng.

At this moment in Lecheng, the banners of the Northern Wei Dynasty fluttered in the night wind on the city walls.

Meanwhile, Hongze had taken full control of Suzhou and was waiting there for the Great Qian army.

Generals Lin and Zhou headed to Suzhou in high spirits.

Another half hour passed, and the sky gradually began to lighten.

At the foot of Lecheng, Jiang Zhe led his battered and defeated army to a stop at the city gate.

Right now, he has absolutely no intention of looking up.

The guards behind him stepped forward and shouted, "Who's on duty on the city wall? Why aren't you opening the city gates to welcome Commander Jiang?"

After they shouted, the guards above Le City not only ignored them, but also spoke with a mocking smile: "Hey you down there, why don't you look up before you speak?"

"What do you mean by this?" The guard looked displeased and gazed up at the city wall with dissatisfaction.

The red flags that once stood atop the city walls have long since disappeared.

Instead, the blue banner of the Northern Wei Dynasty was adopted.

The guard gaped, raising his hand in disbelief and pointing at the city wall: "Then, how come the Northern Wei flag is planted in Le City?"

The guard quickly retreated two steps and came to Jiang Zhe's side, his heart pounding with fear: "General, Lecheng, Lecheng has been occupied by the Northern Wei!"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Zhe, who was already somewhat exhausted, widened his eyes instantly, staring at his personal guard in disbelief, gripping the guard's arms tightly with both hands.

"What did you say? Lecheng has been occupied by the Northern Wei?"

"Yes, Commander! I saw the Northern Wei banners on the city wall. There's no way they could be fake!"

The guard spoke again, his voice trembling, as he pointed towards the top of the city wall.

Jiang Zhe still didn't believe it, but his gaze involuntarily followed the direction his bodyguard was pointing.

He also saw it; the blue Northern Wei banners were planted on the city wall of Lecheng.

Just as he looked towards the city wall, a gentle breeze suddenly began to blow through the previously quiet weather.

As the gentle breeze of dawn broke, the blue flags fluttered atop the city walls.

"How could this be? How could this be? It can't be possible!"

Jiang Zhe's hands fell limply to his sides, his head swayed involuntarily, and his feet took a few steps back uncontrollably.

Seeing this, the guards quickly surrounded Jiang Zhe.

They all shouted, "Commander! Commander!"

However, Jiang Zhe seemed to be in a daze at this moment, and could not hear the guards' calls at all. He just shook his head and muttered to himself.

In contrast, when the guards in Lecheng saw so many troops from the Great Qian Dynasty coming down from the city, they immediately reported the news to Chen Nan.

Chen Nan and Hong Ming also stepped onto the city wall as quickly as possible.

Just then, I saw Jiang Zhe looking dejected below.

Wu Xu had somehow climbed onto the city wall, and naturally, he saw Jiang Zhe's appearance.

He couldn't help but burst into laughter: "Hahahaha, Jiang Zhe, you think you're worthy of being a commander-in-chief?"

As Wu Xu spoke, two streams of tears flowed from his eyes.

Suddenly, he knelt down facing the center of Lecheng and shouted, "Brothers, do you see this?"

"Lecheng has been taken back. Under Commander Chen's leadership, it was captured without losing a single soldier!"

As he spoke, he kowtowed three times forcefully.

After getting up, he came to Chen Nan and said excitedly, "General Chen, this humble general thanks you very much."

Chen Nan looked at Wu Xu, whose forehead bore a bloodstain, and smiled faintly: "General Wu Xu, there's no need for further words. This is all thanks to everyone's concerted efforts and valiant fighting!"

After Wu Xu's reminder, the way the Northern Wei soldiers looked at Chen Nan changed again.

In the past, when they attacked cities, they simply stepped over the corpses of their comrades to advance.

With each step, he could even step on two or three of his companions.

However, after fighting a battle with Chen Nan, not only did it not take much effort, but two thousand surviving soldiers also received the credit for being the first to scale the walls.

"Marshal Chen is awesome!"

I don’t know who shouted first.

Immediately afterwards, shouts of "Commander Chen is mighty!" rang out from above the city walls of Lecheng.

Hongming, standing behind Chen Nan, silently took a step back.

She could sense that these soldiers genuinely admired Chen Nan.

Before this, the soldiers of the Northern Wei Dynasty only had obedience and submission to their generals.

Such a scene has never been seen before.

Even if they shout loudly, it's only because their army has won and they have survived once again.

However, at this moment she deeply felt that Chen Nan was not only terrifying in military skill, but also in his damnable personal charm.

As she looked at it, a blush crept onto her cheeks.

She herself was unaware of this change.

Beneath the city wall, Jiang Zhe finally snapped out of his daze amidst the shouts.

He already knew that the main force that captured Lecheng was Northern Wei, and the commander of Northern Wei was Chen Nan, whom Daqian did not want.

Upon hearing Chen Nan's name, a sly glint flashed in Jiang Zhe's eyes, and a confident smile spread across his face. He took two steps forward and looked up at the Le City wall.

Coincidentally, when she looked up, she met Chen Nan's gaze.

Perhaps Jiang Zhe was too foolish; he didn't see that Chen Nan's eyes were full of mockery and disdain.

Jiang Zhe licked his lips and chuckled twice: "Chen Nan, you were originally the Zhenbei King of Daqian, why don't you return Lecheng to him?"

"I'll have Jiang Hai put in a good word for you with His Majesty, and it wouldn't be impossible for you to become a carefree prince!"

"I'll give you the time it takes to drink a cup of tea to think it over. Once you've made up your mind, just let me know what you think!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he turned around and lifted his foot, intending to return to his post.

His words suggested that he was determined to win over Lecheng.

Before he could take a single step, Wu Xu arrived at Chen Nan's side at lightning speed, complaining, "Jiang Zhe, you only managed to take down Le City by relying on your numerical advantage and those pig-like teammates!"

"Our Commander Chen recaptured Lecheng without losing a single soldier!"

"You think you can take back Lecheng with just a few words? That's wishful thinking!"

"What did you say?" Instantly, Jiang Zhe turned around, his eyes blazing as he looked at Wu Xu.

"What? Is he wrong?" It was Hongming who came to Chen Nan's side who spoke.

"Are you Hongming?" Jiang Zhe asked in confusion upon seeing the female general who suddenly appeared on the city wall.

Hongming nodded and leaned closer to Chen Nan.

Looking at Chen Nan with admiration, he shouted, "Listen up! Standing before you is the Left Chancellor of Northern Wei and Prefect of Wei Capital, bestowed the title of Prince of Zhennan! You are permitted to wear a sword and shoes to court, and are granted a nine-clawed python robe and a golden staff!"

"How is that possible? Chen Nan is just someone abandoned by the Great Qian Dynasty. How could he possibly become a high-ranking official in your Northern Wei?" Jiang Zhe's face was full of disbelief, but his eyes were filled with shock.

Hongming didn't reply, but looked at Jiang Zhe with disdain.

"And you, a mere Grand Marshal of the Great Qian Dynasty, on your first campaign, dare to speak so arrogantly?"

"If it weren't for your younger brother Jiang Hai, who would know what you do?"

Every word is precious, showing no mercy whatsoever.

Jiang Zhe could not bear such an insult and spat a mouthful of blood onto the ground.

His personal guards, not daring to utter a word, dragged their commander toward the center of the army...

While the two sides were exchanging words and accusations in Lecheng, Sucheng was below.

Lin and Zhou Er will lead their large army, eagerly looking towards the city walls of Suzhou.
